KanjiVG

Warning: this website is still very poor - we are working to improve it.

KanjiVG is a description of the sinographs (or kanji) used by the Japanese language. For each character, it provides
a SVG file that gives the shape, direction and of each of its strokes. This file is also enriched with exhaustive
information about the components of the character, the type of stroke employed, etc. See
Format for detailed information.

Using KanjiVG, it is very easy to create stroke order diagrams or animations, kanji dictionaries, and many more.

Reporting errors

Although a huge amount of work has been invested into making KanjiVG error-free, there are probably many errors
remaining in the data. We would really appreciate if you could report them to us. Normally, telling us the kanji
where the error resides is sufficient for us to fix it.

Incorrect kanji should be reported using
Github issues. You will need a Github account to report a
new issue. Please have the kanji you are reporting about in the title of the issue, as this makes it easier for
people to search for issues about a specific kanji. For example:

線 Strokes 7 and 8 are swapped.

Please also select the right label on the right to describe whether this is a certain error, a doubt, or a missing
character. Also, be sure to look for the open issues about the kanji you want to report to ensure the issue is not
reported already.
